A question for pet lovers that have experienced the death of their pets :(

vampirestonez @vampirestonez (1180) • Pakistan 24 Jan 07

How do you get over the extreme pain of losing a pet you loved so much? My dog died and I can't accept it ... A part of me says to never own a pet and a part of me says to get a new one of the same breed. Mostly people around me...

vdini96 I think the only thing that really helps is time. On the other hand, you can always adopt a stray or from shelter... this way you (if you are an animal lover) you will know you are doing it alot on the side for their behalf..and potentially saving them. I am...

Do you believe the government should regulate discipline methods?

Kaldonya @Kaldonya (277) • United States 23 Jan 07

How do you feel about the government telling you what is legal and what is not legal as to how to discipline your children? Rumor is going around that the Senate is thinking about abolishing spanking - saying that it is illegal -...

vdini96 I agree that is taking it too far. I don't believe in severly spanking, or using anything other than your hand. (Like belts!)

brokentia @brokentia (10389) • United States 23 Jan 07

Did you know the orange carrot we know today used to actually be purple? Up until the 17th century, the carrot was purple. However, because the Dutch flag was orange, the Dutch wanted to show their patriotism by changing the...

I've been wondering what's best way of cooking potatoes. As an interested cooker, I'm always on the search for new ways of cooking potatoes. My favorite way of doing them is either easily fry them or mash them...I still think it's...

Trimming baby's nails

jessmtiu @jessmtiu (251) • Philippines 23 Jan 07

How often do you trim your baby's fingernails? I find this especially difficult to do with my 10 month old baby boy because he's very fidgety and would not keep still for me to trim his fingernails properly. I often trim his nails...

vdini96 I always cut my sons fingernails whenever he was sleeping. However, now that he is 1 1/2 I don't... he does not sleep as well so I am afraid to wake him up. We spend 30 min - hour getting him to sleep still! So I don't want to take that chance. I probably...

How do you discipline your children

rice5899 @rice5899 (193) • United States 31 Dec 06

I have two boys and we have tried the time outs, for our oldest it does not work on him at all, so we have now resorted to taking something away that he really enjoys if he is acting up. That seems to be working a little bit. My...

What way do you like your steak?

BittyBiddy @BittyBiddy (2903) • Ireland 3 Jan 07

I love it rare! I like to chase after it on the plate as it tries to get away. My husband thinks this is revolting and always asks for his steak to be well done. I've heard that if you ask for a well done steak in a restaurant...

vdini96 I don't think they would do that on purpose - unless somehow the more fat it has, the better protected the meat to try to salvage some of that flavor and juiciness they want burned out of it lol. I don't go rare (unless I am worried they don't know how to...

Stubborn, Intelligent, Pre Toddlers - Discipline?

vdini96 @vdini96 (14) • United States 3 Jan 07

Is there such a thing? My one year old is very smart and very stubborn. Even as a very young baby, you could not "distract him" with a toy or something. Once he wanted something that was it. He is too young to understand...

Ordering Shoes from a Catalogue or Online.

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45941) • United States 2 Jan 07

Choosing a pair of shoes is frustrating to me. Often times they styles that are available are uncomfortable. You can't always go by the size of your current footwear when you are trying on shoes. Different styles tend to fit...
